Gastric Sleeve

An innovative and very safe weight loss operation called the gastric sleeve procedure is offering a new lease on life to countless people living with the serious health risks of obesity. The gastric sleeve procedure is usually performed laparoscopically (with a few small incisions), and involves the removal of around 75% (sometimes more) of the patient’s stomach. The remnants of the stomach are then reshaped into the form of a sleeve, allowing for better regulation of food intake. People who elect for the gastric sleeve operation enjoy immediate weight loss results.

If you are interested in the gastric sleeve procedure, you should seriously consider Dr. Feiz & Associates, where we use a state-of-the-art technique called the STARR Treatment to perform the gastric sleeve surgery with A SINGLE INCISION.  All of the instruments needed for the surgery are housed inside a single metal tube; once the minuscule cut is made and the tube inserted into the abdominal area, all the instruments emerge and unfold like a miniature umbrella. The so-called micro gastric sleeve surgery offered by a select few accomplished physicians (including our own renowned Dr. Michael Feiz and Dr. Monali Misra) leaves only a single scar the size of a freckle or a small grain of rice.
